Location & Landing Zone Database

The location feature allows you to store a location database of all Airports, EMS agencies, Fire Departments, Helipads, Hospitals, Landing Zones, Medical Facilities, and more. Each location can have multiple addresses, phone numbers, mapping, and a notes section for Gate Codes, Door Codes, and special instructions.

There are over 61,000 locations pre-loaded in the database automatically. Any location that you create will remain private so that only your staff can see the information.

Location information can quickly be sent to staff via email and text including door codes, address, coordinates and more.

To enable the location database, click on System Configuration -> General -> Modules -> Location Database
